I love crockpots/slow cookers, and yes they are extremely safe, Dottyg. As long as you keep it in good condition and there's no issues with the cord, it shouldn't be a fire hazard. I generally leave my crockpot going during the day when I'm at work. The only problem I've had with not enough water was a gooey mess that needed to be soaked for a couple of days before scraping it out.

Trish that one didn't work either - I think it is because you have already been added as a volunteer (don't know if you noticed but you have one star now and are designated as working on it in your info to the left of the post)

Yeah, that must be it. I guess it was changed over after I posted in there.
